The foods that are typically introduced to infants around 6 months of age, are pureed, soft, and mushy in consistency, and they tend to be quite bland (from an adult's perspective). To your infant, these bland foods awake their taste buds that have been happily feeding breastmilk and/or formula for the last 6 months. Infants may dive in and become an excellent eating, while others are a little more cautious of these new foods, flavours, and textures, and not be as willing to open up for them.
